WRINKLES,
and hollow cheeks, and dull, sunken
eyes, don't always mean that a wo
man's old. Half the time they only
show that she's overworked or suf
fering. To such women, to every
woman who is tired or afflicted, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription safely
and certainly brings back health and
strength. It's a legitimate medicine
that corrects and cures ; a tonic that
invigorates and builds up ; a nervine
that soothes and strengthens. For
all the derangements, irregularities
and weaknesses peculiar to women,
it is the only guaranteed remedy.

CHANGE OF BUSINESS.
Siatory of the Vessel Which Is Now a
Brooklyn fciethel 8hip.
At the foot of Thirty-sixth street,
3Jrooklyn, a dismantled bark is made
fast to the strinrpicee by heavy chains,
says the New York Recorder. Upon its
main deck forward has been constructed
a chapel and within the six pillars that
support the roof hangs a largo bell
which is used to call together the con
gregation of sailors from the surround
ing shipping, who three times a week
assemble there in worship.
For twenty yoarr; tha craft has beer
used as a bethel fchip, with Rev.
Timothy Lane as pai tor, who has all
these .years been saving- up money tc
"buy a plot of land at the intersection o1
Thirty-sixth street and Erie avenue,
where he' is to erect a statioaary edifice
for his conprcrjation. When thi3 if
finished he pnrxxmes selling- the present
floating structure. Mr. Lane describes
the hull as stanch, copper bottomed anc
fastened, so it is not without the
"bounds of possibility that it may bt
ri;?el and s.iil the sea:; a;rn.in.
The bark has all exciting history.
She was built and commanded by
Capt. John Tam, who is well
remembered by old whalemen,
who speak of him as jkus of the
oldest and most successful of whalers.
For years he comuiacii.;d a five hundred-ton
brir, but she was sunk by e
whale, and then he had a. bark built ol
live oak and halrmi-tr.c'.r in 15clfast,Me.
lie and hir. crew mrrclo fortunes in this
vessel, and in 1oj. i.e rr-tired. In ISCt
the bark, chanx:.l into a propellor,
made her appearance in these waters
as an East Iritlia trader. Like most
whaling- shins, her hull was saturated
with whale oil, which is a great preser
vative of wood. fcJhe was purchased by
a Norwegian bencvi:icnt society to be
used as a bethel s!:!;?, and was made
fast to pier 11, North rivert where
she lay for scveutjen years as a floating-
church for Ncrwc;;iuti, Danish, and
Swedish sailors. There she remained
until 1S8C, when she was towed tc
Brooklyn and mado far.t to the pier at
the foot of Thirty-sixth street.
THE EXTRA SHILLING.
A Trick Tli:it Is i'layed on Guiltuu.
Americans WInlo Abroad.
Here is a trick that is played every day
durinjf the season on Americans in Lon
don, says an exchange. It nearly al
ways works, simple as it is. A gentle
man from Rochester, N. Y., who is well
Tmown in that . city, bought a pair ol
gloves on Oxford street the other day,
gave the man a sovereign and took a?
Americans very generally do his
change without counting it, shoveled it
off thd counter into his pockets. He
was walking down Oxford street when
a breathless person overtook him and
tapped him on the shoulder.
"I beg your pardon, sir, but I'm very
sorry we gave you a shilling too much
change." - I
"Did you?" said the American, pull-!
ing out a handful of change from his
pocket and looking at it hopelessly. j
"Yes, sir, I am very sorry, sir, but
you see, sir, it will be taken out of nty
wages and I don't get any too much.
We don't in this country, sir. Won't
you come back, sir, and I'll explain how
it happened." . tj
"Oh, it's all right," said the Rochester j
man, and he handed the fellow a shil
ling. , .
"VVould you like to go back and see if
. it's all right.' said the salesman.
"Oh, not at all."
"I'm very much obliged to you, sir,"
said the clerk, bringing his forefinger
up to his bare head. .
That shilling and many others like it :

Farmers Get One Dollar a Jluahel Cram
the State for Harvesting: the live
ly and Destructive
i Tnsecta. .. .
New- Hampshire has a new crop.
Grasshoppers. The" state pays the
farmers for the product. . The price is
one dollar a bushel. Mr.. A. T. Bur
leigh, of Franklin, lat. year gathered
ninety bushels, for .which he received
ninety dollars. ' Of course the state
does not pay for the cultivation of the
insects. They, are a plague, and a
bounty of one dollar per bushel is pro
vided by law for their destruction.
A Boston Herald writer'met Mr. Bur
leigh the other day, and was led by
curiosity to inquire how ninety bush
els of the lively little fellows could- be
captured. -" ' '
. "The farmers have been troubled by
the grasshoppers more or less for the
past twelve years," said Mr. Burleigh.
"We do not know where- they orig
inated or how they came, but they are
here, and it seems that they have come
to stay. They are worse some years than
others. In 18S5 I daught one hundred
and nineteen bushels. My best catch
was 'thirty-nine bustyels in one day.
In an area two miles long and one
mile and a half wide five hundred
bushels were caught and destroyed,
besides those plowed in when too small
to hop out of the furrow. These grass
hoppers hatch about the first of June,
and are so small one would not notice
them were it not for the rustling noise
they make hopping in the grass. At
this period you can destroy them only
by plowing them in."
"Pardon me, but this process would
bring you no bounty. What I wish to
know is how you catch them."'- .
"I was-about to say that those wSich
are not plowed in we endeavor to
catch. In order to do this they must
be about half grown' and able to jump
or fly. We have constructed a machine
which carries two pans of galvanized
iron eight feet long, sixteen inches
wide, four inches deep, and having a
back eighteen inches high. These pans
are divided into three sections and
fastened to wooden shoes, into which
they are set ' about one and one-half
inches from the ground. This ap
paratus is attached to a pair of wheels
with a long axle one that runs
through the wheels about eighteen
inches being the best. The pans are
filled with an emulsion either kero
sene and water, soft soap and water,
chloride of - lime; and water, or any of
the soap powders are good. Each sec
tion of the pans holds about three gal
lons of water, and has to be refilled
for each' catch. To catcty the grass
hoppers to advantage one should take
them early in the morning or at sunset,
when they ' are on the grass feeding.
Two men and two horses are needed
for each machine, as one hWse could
not stand it to drag the neavy ap
paratus through the grassvf or one must
drive fast to catch the littie pests.'
"What is the extent of the injury
they are capable of inflicting?"
"To tell how much damage they do
is like valuing something you do not
have. In three days they will spoil a
piece of grass that would cut two tons
per acre, and in one day they have de
stroyed a half acre of onions."
"Have you endeavored to get rid of
the intruders by other methods?"
"Yes. The grasshoppers hatch ev
ery season. You can easilv find their
eggs in September or October, or in the
spring. We have tried burning, roll
ing and drowning, as well as plowing,
but the grasshopper machine is the
only thing that will conquer them.
There is but a week .or ten days that
you can catch them, this being when
they arc about half-grown, and before
they can fly far. The bounty ' of one
dollar per bushel, which we receive
from the state, just about pays for the
time and expense of eatching."
"I suppose the farmers' generally are
waging war on the hoppers?"
"To a greater or less extent all of
them are fighting them. A neighbor
of mine caught sixteen bushels last
season." . '
"What was 3Tour loss last year?"
"They destroyed more than half of
my hay crop, spoiled six acres of
oats, ruined half an acre of onions,
and damaged my carrots to the ex
tent of forty or fifty dollars, besides
clearing out an acre of beans so clean
you would not know that anything had
been planted on the land."
vThe New Hampshire law, offering a
bounty for grasshoppers, was passed in
1S91. At the office of .the 'secretary of
state in Concord it. was learned that
"in 1844 there appeared on one or two
farms in Franklin and one farm in
Canterbury a certain species of grass
hopper, or locust, that was very de
structive to vegetation. The insects
did not move around much, but ate
everything clean where they located,
and became so thick that they could be
collected in large quantities. They
differ from the common grasshopper
in that they are not so lively and come
in mucbNgreater numbers. It was to
cause their extermination that the law
was passed. Of the common ' kind of
grasshoppers a bushel could hardly be
collected in a season, but these locusts
are so plentiful that they can be gath
ered by the bushel, and farmers rig up
machinery for the purpose." -
